Value Collection 1318 Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw 25 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1318 is a pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal materials in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication applications. With a 7/16-inch thread size and 1-inch length under the head, this screw drives cleanly into sheet metal panels, ductwork, junction boxes, and similar assemblies. Constructed from stainless steel with a zinc-plated finish, it offers corrosion resistance suited to both indoor and outdoor installations. Each package contains 25 screws, making it a practical quantity for service calls and small jobs. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and light fabrication trades reach for this size regularly when securing sheet metal components.

This pan head sheet metal screw is used across residential and light commercial applications wherever sheet metal needs to be joined or fastened. Common uses include securing HVAC duct sections, attaching sheet metal panels on air handlers, fastening electrical enclosures, and general metal fabrication work. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface that distributes clamping load across thin material without pulling through. The 1-inch length under the head suits standard-gauge sheet metal and light structural sheet applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by qualified HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a power drill or manual screwdriver with the appropriate bit. Secure all power to electrical enclosures before fastening in or near energized components. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can strip threads in thin sheet metal or deform the material. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA duct construction standards and NEC enclosure requirements where relevant.
